More from Tomas Saraceno. In Saraceno's 'The Cosmic Dust Spider Web Orchestra' natural forms are explored and re-presented to us through sound waves.

His most recent exhibition Areocene explores and replicates Buckminster Fuller's domes to portray a world where we adopt a circular way of co-existing with the world and its finite natural resources. https://walkerart.org/magazine/counter-currents-tomas-saraceno-on-buckminster-fuller

Tomas Saraceno. Hugely inspired by the works of Buckminster Fuller, Saraceno's artwork is influenced by repetitions of the same hexagon structure to create circular domes, the tessellation sometime interactive, sometimes huge.
